Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is hospitalized in critical but stable condition, his spokesperson said Sunday, days after the US Republican hoarsely told his talk show audience that his voice was "a little under the weather."
The spokesperson, Ted Goodman, didn’t say what sent Giuliani, 81, to the hospital, how long he’s been there, or what his prognosis is.
"Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he’s fighting with that same level of strength as we speak," Goodman said in a statement. He said that Giuliani "remains in critical but stable condition."
Giuliani’s eight-year tenure as the mayor of the country’s largest city was punctuated by the September 11, 2001, attack in his final months in office, and he became celebrated as "America’s mayor" for his leadership after the al-Qaeda terrorist attack that felled the World Trade Center twin towers.
Giuliani later made an unsuccessful run for president and was an adviser to US President Donald Trump
...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down...
, spearheading his efforts to stay in office after his 2020 election loss.
Last year, Trump said he was awarding Giuliani the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Giuliani coughed as he began his nightly online show "America’s Mayor Live" on Friday. As he spoke, he sounded more raspy than usual. Before launching into a commentary on the Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for

Führeror maybe both. They hate
war, he remarked: "My voice is a little under the weather, so I won’t be able to speak as loudly as I usually do, but I’ll get closer to the microphone."
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump called Giuliani "a True Warrior, and the Best Mayor in the History of New York City, BY FAR."
"What a tragedy that he was treated so badly by the Radical Left Lunatics, Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people,
white supremacy,
whiteanything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word
(Thomas) Nastyto the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
ALL — AND HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!" Trump wrote. "They cheated on the Elections, fabricated hundreds of stories, did anything possible to destroy our Nation, and now, look at Rudy. So sad!"
As Trump’s personal attorney and adviser, Giuliani became a vocal proponent of the president’s allegations of fraud in the 2020 election, won by Democrat Joe
The Big GuyBiden
...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family...
. Trump and his backers lost dozens of lawsuits claiming fraud, and numerous recounts, reviews and audits of the election results turned up no signs of significant wrongdoing or error.
Two former Georgia election workers later won a $148 million defamation judgment against Giuliani. As they sought to collect the judgment, the former federal prosecutor was found in contempt of court and faced a trial this winter over the ownership of some of his assets.
Giuliani ultimately struck a deal that let him keep his homes and various belongings, including prized World Series rings, in exchange for unspecified compensation and a promise to stop speaking ill of the ex-election workers.
Giuliani was previously hospitalized in September after suffering a fractured vertebra and other injuries in a car crash in New Hampshire.
A native New Yorker, Giuliani was elected mayor in 1993 after serving as one of the country’s highest-profile federal prosecutors, taking on mobsters and crooked Wall Street traders.
He ran for the US Senate in 2000 but abandoned his race against Hillary Rodham Clinton
... sometimes described as
America's Blond Eminenceand at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as

after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.
In 2007, Giuliani ran for president. Buoyed by his post-9/11 popularity, he started as the front-runner for the Republican nomination. But that was short-lived. He withdrew from the race after struggling in the primaries amid GOP concerns about his past support for
He toyed with running for other offices before pivoting to political commentary.
In 2016, Trump leaned on Giuliani’s political acumen and loyalty and put him to work as a surrogate leading attacks on Clinton, his Democratic rival. After Trump won, Giuliani continued as his attack dog, even traveling to Ukraine to seek damaging information about Biden’s son, Hunter.
